Controlling a Running Ethernet Subagent
These objects are described in detail in Table 14-3 on page 14-12.
Controlling a Running Ethernet Subagent
In addition to getting information about a running Ethernet Subagent, you can control
certain aspects of its behavior by issuing SNMP Set requests from an SNMP manager,
as described in Table 14-2 on page 14-10.
All subagent attributes that can be controlled by setting MIB object values are
reinitialized when the subagent is restarted to default values or values specified in
startup parameters.
Table 14-2. Controlling an Ethernet Subagent Through SNMP (page1of2)
You can control this
attribute of an
Ethernet Subagent...
By issuing SNMP Set
